Insights into journeys of falling and learning to rise again.

Welcome to my online world. Here you'll find a mix of life experiences, travel and training tips, discussions of mental health, and just about anything else you can mix into life. You're welcome to come along for the ride as I try to use my rather intense life experiences to create a space for spreading insight and knowledge into all the devastation and beauty that the human journey can involve. Because a journey shared can transform the rising of one human, to the rising of many.

I was written off as too far gone on many occasions, but if there is one thing I don't do well it's follow the rules. Now, I'm here to spread the messages that are too often drowned out by doubt and lack of awareness.

There is no such thing as too far gone.

 With a bit of running on the side.
